Dansnät Sverige’s partners mutually agree on the productions they wish to present. The selection process span over two meetings to enable the partners to discuss the applications received in good time.

At the first selection meeting our partners select a short list of 20 productions for further discussions. This enables the presenters to explore the prospects of the performance in relation to their own venues before making a final selection.

Companies/choreographers not on the short list will be informed after the first selection. Companies/choreographers on the short list will be contact for further information.

To enable Dansnät Sverige to organize a tour it is essential that several venues wish to present the performance and to find a tour period which functions for the venues as well as for the chosen company/choreographer. During the selection process Dansnät Sverige’s office works as a contact between the partners and company/choreographer.

The selection is not based on any given criteria, but are made based on the programmers’s wish to create a diverse selection on their venues from several aspects – style, gender, established or emerging artists, Swedish or international etc. An important aspect for our presenters is that Dansnät Sverige’s touring productions will fit well in the planning of our programmer’s season programs.

The need for long-term planning by the partners, presenters and chosen companies/choreographers signifies that decisions are made one year prior to the tour period.  Hence the decisions for the coming year’s spring season is made in March the current year and the coming year’s autumn season in October the year before.

Dansnät Sverige receives more than 500 application each year and we don’t have the possibility to give feedback when an application is rejected.
